1 IMPROVEMENT 1N mesme-MACHINES.

The Schedule referred these Letters Patent and making part ot, the same.

Totallprsoas towh-om these presents may come:

Beit known that 1,'QH'A1iLns VARNEY, of East y Bromeld, of the county ofHampden', of the State'of Massachusetts, have ,made a new andusefulinvention, l 1 aving reference to the Processes -of -Peg`gingMach1nes;and do hereby declare the saineto be fully described in the'following specit`1cation,fand repre! s entedin the accompanying drawing,of which- '-flEi'gurel is a side elevation;

Figure 2, an undersideview; l4liguref3,a longitudinal section 5i andFigure 4, a transverse seetionof apegging-lnachine presser-foot,provided' with my invention. My invention consists as follows; First,jinthe combination of a, movable` edge-rest audrnechanism, as hereinafterAdescribed, for moving it intoether of two positions ywith thepresser-foot.

g Seconchin the combinatonoi an adjustable bearer 'Iwith'the said.movable rest, or so as to make part thereof.

The purposeof the 'saidmovable` rest and its oper- ',ative mechanismistobxing a shoe into either of 'the properpositions forhavingeither ofvtwo concentric or parallel rowsof pcgsinserted in it by the pegging-,inachine, of which thc presser lnay be a part.A

1".l he purpose of the adjustable bearer is to' regulate thedistance'of4the outerrow of pegsfrom the edge as occasion may require.

` In the drawing- A( denotes a` pegging-machine 'presser-foon made vin!thezusual manner. y Y

j B is the sole-edge-supporter, -w-hioh, in this case, is in a 'piecevof met-al, separate from the slider' fO, and is 'slotted as shown at aa, andconnected with the slider bymeans of two"screws,"b b, which lgoVthrough the Vslots and 4screw into the slider, so that 4their headsmay-be forced up to the part B, in order to conn'e it firmly to the partC. l f i `From the above itfwill 4be seen-that the'said part B isa'djustable Ywith referencev `tothe aperture c of the presserffoot, orgwithreference t-o the awl and pegt driver, when extended downthroughsuch'aperture The slider C is a'block'of metal, separate from the`presser-foot,1and,arranged against its lower face, so

as ,tobecapable of being slid lengthwise thereon.

The slideris held" to the presser-foot by aheaded screw,` D, whichpasses through a spring-plate or washer, E, arranged against `thc sliderin manner. as represented.' Y

The saids'r'ew also passes. through a slot, c, made 4longitudinally inthe: slider. It also goes through a 'eammedisloth formed through atransverse slider, lib-and serewsinto the presser-foot.

,Thetransvers'e' slider F, shownin bottom view in ig..5, and inlongitudinal section in fig. 4,' is lplaced wi-thin anotch, g,madefacross the slider G, and having a tl-aaisverse sectioncorresponding to that of-the einer n.

through one o f jsnch ears, the whole being as represented iu thedrawing.

By this screw, the extent of rearward movement of the slider Cv maybe'regulated. v

By moving the slider F lengthwise in one direction vuntil its perforatedear may bring up against ythe slider C, the latter will be advancedtoits extreme `forward position. v

So, by moving the slider F in the opposite'way, lengthwise of it7 untilthe inner end of the screw t may bring up against the slider-G, thclat-ter will beinoved to its other position.

The slider Cv andthe sole-edge` supporter B may-be in one piece ofmet-al, in which case theywould constitute, as they do when separate andmade and held together by screws, in manner as described, a mov: ble

edge1'est.1 Y

.That part of the presser-foot which rests-on thesole isshown at l?. ItAis-a piece lor plate of metal, separate from the rest-.of the`presser-foot, and is fixed to it by screws, which go through the footland screw into,

the .piece l?, they being shown at x a in g. 2.

'lheouter curvedsurface of the bearing-plate I is formed with channelsor. grooves, one seriesof which crosses theother, so as to cause thebearing-surface .to take a firm hold of theV sole when the presser-footis' in use.l

It is an important improi-'ement to have the bear ingplate P separatefrom the rest of the presser-foot,

and connected with it as described, for the par-tI is liable 'soon towear, and, when worn too much, it m'a'y beeasily removed from the restof the presser-foot and a fresh plate substituted, thus saving the'necessity of throwingv away' the whole 'pressen foot.-

I claini- -The Aedge-rest, as inadeor composed of the two parts B andO,. app lied so; as to enable the part B to be adjustable and fixed tothe part C, substantially in manner and for the purpose as set forth.Also, the combination and arrangement -of the slider -ll andAstop-screw@ with the presser-foot and the adjustable-edge-rest,substantially as specified.

Also, the presseihfoot, asprovided with the reinerable bearing-plate P,connected with the rest of the foot, substantially in manner asdescribed. Also, the slotted sliderF and its supporting-groove g,

arranged and combincchas explained, with the presser-A foot A, the screwor pin D, and the edge-rest, composed of the parts-B and G', the wholebeing applied together, so as to operate as set forth.
